U.S. 40 restrictions to start on or after May 2 for Putnamville bridge work

PUTNAMVILLE -- Ongoing restrictions will be in place on or after May 2 on U.S. 40, between State Road 243 and South County Road 25 East for a bridge work near Putnamville, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced.

U.S. 40 will be down to two lanes during the project. Traffic will be maintained by a temporary barrier wall.

These restrictions will last through early September, weather permitting.

The contract on the project was awarded to Milestone Contractors for more than $7.9 million. It also involves a bridge replacement project over Mill Creek in Hendricks County, along with culvert work at various locations along U.S. 40 in Putnam, Clay and Montgomery counties.

Future restrictions will be connected to this project. INDOT will provide updates prior to any closures or restrictions. The entire project is expected to be completed in November 2024, weather permitting.
